Supporting the Biotech Sector Throughout COVID-19 Lockdown

As January heralded a new year and another opportunity to drive our business goals, along came COVID-19! Initially, we advised customers to lay down prudent stocks, trying to predict what might become short supply. 

The Call of Duty

Our primary concern was how to continue to support our customers and provide the best supply chain advice in unchartered territory – and all while working from home. We were ready to step up and do whatever we could do to help during this global pandemic and delighted with the rush of our customer base also feeling the same call of duty. We have several customers involved in various COVID-19 vaccines, from manufacture of the vaccine to sterile fill and finish.

Medicines Discovery Catapult Recognises Amici’s Efforts

We were absolutely delighted when Medicines Discovery Catapult sent commemorative coins in recognition of our support in setting up the labs. Another proud moment for all involved at Amici.

Supporting our Customers and Their Life Changing Work

We have been overwhelmed by the aggregation of our industry and how people and companies have dropped what they are doing to help this national effort. Our customers have developed in-vitro lung assays for modelling Covid-19, developed SARS-COV-2 antibodies and antigens and supported the COVID-19 effort through seconding their experienced staff to several important national initiatives.

Important life changing clinical trials have still been going on and a large portion of our customers have remained open throughout to deliver this work. We are extraordinarily proud to be supporting our customers and their life changing work. It has been really hard work, there have been untold supply chain challenges and there is so much more to do yet. At Amici we love the opportunity, and a challenge is always a new learning experience. We wish our customers every success in their endeavour and promise to stand by their side to support them in any way we can.
